It's...something, I guess. It's a Double-Tuning Level 12 that needs a Dark Dragon Synchro, which could be Red Dragon, or it could be...Beelze. Or something.

 

It locks card effects from the Field the turn it was Summoned, but what makes this good is actually the fact the opponent can't chain to this effect at all. Which also means cards that'd respond to the Summon can't be used, like Torrential, or Bottomless.

 

It has a Flame Wingman effect, which is...nice.

 

And if it dies by an opponent's card or battle, you can revive a Level 8 or lower DARK Dragon Synchro. That's...not terrible, I guess.

 

It just doesn't seem completely worth the investment. It's more reliable than Red Nova, but that's only because Red Nova needs Red Dragon Archfiend specifically (or Scarright), whereas this...basically needs Red Dragon, but is a little more flexible.

I might tech one just for fun in my odd-eyes/magician/performapal deck (tripple glow-up for fun with odd-eyes and pendulum tribute fodder for belial), then again it would require belial to be used as summon material and at that point the revival fun ends ... still a reliable final shot option IF your opponent has 4k or less (or 7.2k if you did not lose the revived abyss yet/ revived abyss again).

I feel like this did need to exist, just because of a shortae of Double Tuning. Not needng RDA is in its favour, and a Spell Speed 4 effect negator is nice... But somehow, it just doesn't feel as scary as it should.

 

EDIT: Having given it further thought, that first effect makes all the difference. The opponent has to negate its summon or they can't respond with anything on their board. Nova still falls victim to non-destruction effects like HTS Psyhemuth, while Calamity shuts out everything but hand- and grave-traps. Against a field that isn't empty, Calamity is the better option versus Nova. And if you make this with Formula Synchro, Steam Synchro etc on the opponent's turn, you can basically lock them out that turn like what S0 does.

The opponent has to negate its summon

 

If they do, you're just going to get the Dragon you used to SS it back with its floating effect. It says it has to be "destroyed", but not where, and it doesn't state that it has to be sent to the Graveyard...

I believe theres something missing in this translation so we cant be sure of anything now. Imo the wording its either "if this card you control is destroyed" or "if this card in your possession is destroyed". Only in this second case its eff would go off if Solemn'ed.

The current translation comes from a translation of Maxut having written out the plainly-visible Japanese text. The Org knows their sheet, as does Maxut even when he's being a sheet.

 

Not having "in your possession" just means the effect works if destroyed under the opponent's control as well.

What's interesting is that this is summonable off of the standard quasar 5-5-2 setup. 

 

Instead of Hyper Librarian, misc. Lv5, and Formula it's Formula, Accel, and Samsara.

 

Having Accel and Formula means you can summon this during the opponent's turn to shut them out of the duel, making this potentially a better first turn play than Quasar.

from their field

 

spells still woek, pendulums and discard monsters work, amd you can still set traps.
